Biography
Horacio Carrillo was the first head of the Colombian national police's Search Bloc unit, which was former in the 1980s with the assistance of the United States. Carrillo's task was to hunt down and bring to justice the infamous narcos, the drug barons that were more dangerous than any rebel group in the country. He constantly cooperated with the US Central Intelligence Agency and Drug Enforcement Agency, who used spy planes to pick up conversations from satellite phones and identify the speakers, allowing for them to track down drug barons. On many occasions, the Search Bloc would go in guns blazing and massacre the cartel members, such as the 1989 La Dispensaria raid in the Modelia barrio of Bogota.
